SOTD 20190904.
Yesterday a fellow shaver gave me a hybrid razor head:
A (very) slant head, top plate OC, bottom plate SB.
Used an aluminum custom handle with it.
A double experiment: test this razor, and a shaving soap that I was not sure of.
In case the soap and/or the razor were no good, a trusted soap and razor are standby:
This is the setup:
J&T® katalox / OUMO Brush imitation silvertip synth.
Brick "Tough & Masculine" shaving soap.
Vreto "Aloe Vera" scheerzeep (standby).
Hybride razor / Alu. custom handle.
Timeless Ti 0.68 OC / Stork Ti "Anaconda" handle (standby).
Centwin Super Platinum (4).
Hugo Boss "Bottled" EdT.
The test:
Loaded the brush with soap and whipped up a lather in my shaving bowl - looks OK for now.
Then the razor: after having shaved a part of my face, I knew - this razor is too aggressive for me.
In the mean time the lather vanished - exit shaving soap.
Finished my shave with the standby stuff.
